    King William III Statue

    Near the Art Nouveau gents toilets is the King William III Statue. It was erected in 1734 in honour of William of Orange, who besides being king also has the distinction of introducing England to gin, which he brought from his native Holland. The statue's proximity to the toilet is pure coincidence.
